What is an example of a solid dissolved in a solid?
An example of a solid dissolved in a solid is brass, which is an alloy of copper and zinc. In brass, the atoms of zinc are dissolved into the solid lattice of copper, forming a homogeneous solid solution.
What is a liquid that a solid being dissolved into?
A liquid in which a solid is dissolved is called a solvent. The solid that is being dissolved is known as a solute. When the solute is added to the solvent and dissolves, it forms a solution.
What are the three types of solutions?
The three types of solutions are unsaturated, saturated, and supersaturated. Unsaturated solutions can dissolve more solute, while saturated solutions have reached the maximum solute concentration. Supersaturated solutions have more solute than would normally dissolve at that temperature.
What is a metal dissolved in a metal?
When a metal is dissolved in another metal, it forms a solid solution. This process allows atoms of the dissolved metal to occupy spaces within the crystal lattice of the solvent metal, resulting in a homogeneous mixture with unique properties. Examples include brass (copper dissolved in zinc) and sterling silver (copper dissolved in silver).
How are the dissolved particles of a molecular solid such as sugar different from the dissolved particles of an ionic solid such as table salt?
The dissolved particles of a molecular solid like sugar are individual molecules, which do not break apart into ions in solution. In contrast, the dissolved particles of an ionic solid like table salt are ions (sodium and chloride ions) that are formed when the solid dissociates in water.
